AI progress creates more work for humans, not less. Dive into our new report from @danshipper — and use the companion repo to read it with your agent 👇
We’ve automated every single thing we can @every with AI agents.
And yet there’s way more human work to do than ever. We’ve gone from 4 -> 30 human employees since GPT-3.
I wrote a report on the structural reasons: how AI makes expert competence cheap, why that drives up demand for experts, and why the dynamic only intensifies as we approach AGI.

I bought Figma stock during the SaaSpocalypse panic. Talking to @mcolyer, Figma's director of product management for developers, made me wish I'd bought more.
He joined me on @every's AI & I to make the case for a SaaS resurgence—and to explain why chat-based tools are the wrong interface for design. We get into:
- Why running your own agents makes you more willing to pay for SaaS, not less
- How Figma's MCP server allows you to approach design work from two directions: Take a live web page and reconstruct it on the Figma canvas, or hand a Figma design over to an agent so it can makes changes via pull request
- The inherent limits of chat-based design, a format that isn’t equipped to generate lots of new ideas
-Why review is the next bottleneck, and potential solutions for helping teams scale evaluations

Almost a week later! What are your thoughts on Opus 4.8?
We were extremely bullish on it in testing—it seems the response was more tepid once y'all got your hands on it. If you disagreed with our take I'm curious why so we can tune our evaluations!
One theory I have is that by nature it pushes on your frame a little more, and the results are high-variance—sometimes it does something amazing, and sometimes it disagrees in a way that is obviously wrong.
But curious how you're feeling and what you're reaching for after a few days of testing
